Accomplishments : Assembled the ISS while in space, including major components like the Quest airlock, the Columbus laboratory and the Kibo module, to name a few. Canadarm2 is the centrepiece of Canada's key contribution to the Space Station, ensuring Canadian scientists have access to the resources of this orbital science lab.

The Future : Will continue with external maintenance tasks on the Space Station – this includes assisting spacewalking astronauts. Will also grapple and dock unpiloted cargo ships such as the Japanese HTV, and future US commercial transport vehicles like SpaceX's Dragon and Orbital's Cygnus.

Trivia : It is commemorated (along with Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield) on a 2006 coin created by the Royal Canadian Mint that is available in both gold and silver. It also appears in a 2011 stamp from Canada Post that features the first Canadian handshake in space. In 2013, Canadarm2 and Dextre will adorn the new $5 polymer bill, showcasing Canada's achievements in space exploration.
